I Am From Nowhere


Not here not there

Not any place in between

Ask my past and they deny me

Ask my peers and they deny me

And my future lies beyond a smokescreen

From L.A. to D.C.

Did a stint in Colorado Springs

I’m even a stranger here in KC

I am an immigrant in my own home

When I claim residence I am alone

For even my parents are far

From where they’ve grown

And now I’ve grown this way

No place for me to stay

I am a foreigner in every way

Not any place in between

Not here, not there

I am from nowhere.

By Will, age 17
